Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) total wins; 3) total goal differential; 4) total goals scored; 5) disciplinary points; 6) away goals scored; 7) away goal differential; 8) home goals scored; 9) home goal differential; 10) coin toss or drawing of lots
Notes:
  1. ↑ Since Vancouver Whitecaps FC are a Canadian team, the CONCACAF Champions League berth (in Pot A) awarded to them for winning the Supporters' Shield would pass to the best American team from either conference - in this case, the New England Revolution. New England's berth (in Pot B) awarded to them for having the best record in the Eastern Conference would then pass to the next best American team - in this case, D.C. United.

Overall table

Note: the table below has no impact on playoff qualification and is used solely for determining host of the MLS Cup, certain CCL spots, the Supporters' Shield trophy, seeding in the 2015 Canadian Championship, and 2016 MLS draft. The conference tables are the sole determinant for teams qualifying for the playoffs.

Notes:
  1. ↑ Four US-based teams qualify for the 2016–17 CONCACAF Champions League. They are:
    1. The winner of the Supporters Shield is placed in Pot A;
    2. The winner of the 2015 MLS Cup is placed in Pot A;
    3. The regular season conference champion that did not win the Supporters Shield is placed in Pot B;
    4. The winner of the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup is placed in Pot B.
    Should a team qualify through more than one method, or should a team from Canada occupy one of the first three spots, then the next best US team would take its place; teams from Canada qualify through the 2015 Canadian Championship.
